Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 TBS+ Get-R-Smoked Mexican/Taco Seasoning - Purchase Here
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil Marketplace Roasted Chili EVOO - Purchase Here
  • 1 small onion - chopped
  • 3 medium bell peppers - orange red, yellow or a combination
  • 4 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 10oz can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 10oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles - undrained
  • 1 15oz can black beans - drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn - thawed
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 jalapeno pepper - sliced

Instructions
 

  • Generously season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning and salt and black pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or saute pan.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet and brown well on the first side, approximately 4-5 minutes. Flip the chicken and brown on the second side for approximately 3-4 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so the spices don't burn. Transfer to a plate.
  • Refresh the oil if necessary. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until it begins to soften. Add the bell peppers and garlic and continue cooking another 3-4 minutes or until the bell peppers are softened.
  • Add any remaining taco seasoning, the enchilada sauce and the diced tomatoes with green chiles. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cover with the lid slightly ajar, reduce heat to low and simmer, turning once, until the chicken is completely cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees in the center.
  • Add the drained and rinsed black beans and corn and cook briefly just to heat through.
  • Top with cheese and place the lid back on briefly just to melt the cheese.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and top with fresh jalapeno slices if desired.
